According to the response received from NLC:
- The organisation’s name is Child Welfare South Africa Edenvale. They applied under the Early Childhood Development Infrastructure targeted call which opened on 14 December 2014 and closed on 13 February 2015. This being a focused call towards providing suitable accommodation for the advancement of Early Childhood Development through either a building or container. The application from the organisation unfortunately only applied for operational cost. Furthermore the objectives of the organisation are not focusing on early childhood development as outlined in the call and this is why the application was declined.
Please see paragraph 13, page 5 of the “Charities sector targeted call 2014 guidelines and information required” attached hereto as annexure A for the objectives of the call.
- (a) The organisation was last approved for funding on 13 June 2013 and paid on 28 November 2013.
(b) The amount allocated was R308,000.00 (Three hundred and Eight Thousand Rands). This was towards operations with a large portion of the allocation awarded for salaries.
